    A former company I used to work for has a nationally renound land and wildlife conservation department that draws internship applicants by the hundreds. They were unpaid but had agreements with the students schools where they earned credit hours as well as references for future employers.

      I understand that it happens, but it is still something that should not be allowed. It’s free labour, regardless of benefits to the company or an individual.

      For what’s is worth, the large company I work for hires students and pays them for their time.
